HR Interviews Playlist

If you want to hear the simple truth about DE&I in the workplace - you have come to the right place. Dr. Leeno Karumamchery from Mesh/Diversity breaks it down it down for us. Let's begin with the simple facts of the human brain and neurons. OK, so there is nothing simple about the human brain yet Leeno explains this in a way we grasp. In this episode we hear: - Culture fit’ is a smoke bomb - Elephants look different to everyone - Employee surveys might not be the best way to approach DE&I When you hear; “We have an inclusive culture, but we promote based on merit” Just run away!

Think your pandemic policies and practices were a lot to deal with? Try cat-herding a 30,000-person company. That's just what Commscope faced and Head of Global TA Julia Levy is on the show to talk about just how they did it, and shares a lot of the questions still unanswered. It's a candid discussion on a challenge a lot of companies are facing, but are too afraid to talk about.

Julia puts it all on the table and it's a discussion anyone in the world of HR and TA should not miss.

Over the last couple of years, I've developed an increasing interest in the use of behavioural science in advertising and marketing and its growing relevance in broader business disciplines. I'm absolutely convinced that it offers a route to incredible innovation in talent acquisition and therefore is something we should all be actively investigating.

So what is behavioural science, and what implications does it have for recruiting, diversity and the future of work. There is no one better to explain all of this than Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy. Rory is one of marketing most original thinkers and influential speakers. He is a pioneer of behavioural science in business, and it's a huge privilege to have him on the show to share his thoughts about talent and talent acquisition.

In the interview, we discuss:

• Why Behavioural Science is the science of knowing what economists are wrong about

• The dangers of defensive decision making

• Finding psychological truths and the importance of emotions

• Why Uber has a map

• Recruiting for diversity of thought

• How Ogilvy have redesigned the recruiting process to find people of exceptional non-standard ability

• While the average is not the optimal solution

• The difference between equality of opportunity and diversity of opportunity

• Why work is a relational relationship, not a transactional one

• Cost reduction versus lost opportunities
